Credits for itt tech

I hate that this school requires 96 credits for you to graduate with a A.S. degree. It is wrong because the school doesn't specify this and now I can graduate due that I'm 2.5 credits short. So im I went through all this hard work just to come up short. I already gave out invites and now I'm going to have to say I'm not graduating from school. I will need help in convincing the school to change their policies . Another thing is the school is not accredited and it's possible that my credits will not transfer to another school.

I graduated ITT in 2001. I never recovered from the debt.

Needless to say it is 2015 and I am currently homeless. I attempted to return to school to reclaim my life but not even community colleges would accept credits from ITT. 2 years of my life and all the money for tuition was for nothing. At least I didn't try to go for a "bachelors" and end up with even more debt.

Just a warning.

Don't fall for the lies and promises of an easy road through ANY for-profit institution. In the long run you will regret it. Maybe not immediately but eventually down the road you will be kicking yourself guaranteed.

Start off at a community college for a fraction of the cost. Yes it may take you longer and be more challenging but you will never reget it years after.

Guest

I have been going part time to ITT and will graduate soon. I have found an area college that will take their credits if I want to transfer.

A lot of these complaints seem really weak, a person should really check with employers before making a decision about where to attend school. A lot will accept ITT graduates, but you don't know if you don't ask.

Guest

...the obvious immediate solution rather than complicate your present situation by trying to transfer schools where your credits may not be accepted would be: FINISH YOUR 2.5 CREDITS!!!

That way at least you will graduate and all of your efforts will no go to waste. Then, if you still wish to, attend another, more reputable school.

Guest

ITT Tech's problem - or more to the point, your problem - is that they are not regionally accredited. This is why most of their credits are worthless when you go to transfer.

They are "nationally accredited" which sounds nice but is of virtually no value to anyone planning to pursue continuing education beyond ITT. Regional accreditation is what you want a school to have. The accreditation agencies evaluate programs for quality and comparability, which is what gives different colleges assurance that when you transfer into their program you've met a predefined level of competency. You can't get that with ITT.

However, rather than blame ITT for your situation you should be willing to bear some of the responsibility yourself.

You must ALWAYS evaluate any organization that is going to receive a large sum of your money. Had you done a little searching on the Internet you could have found out a bit about them before you spent so much on an education that may not be worth anything in the job market.

Guest

the school is accredited..accreditation means you can receive student aid, it does not mean credits transfere. Most schools do not accept the credits but that is explained in the video that they show. ITT meets the accreditation standards and is very up front about the school.

Guest

Are u serious

Guest

Not only will your credits not transfer but you will soon find out that most employers will not hire ITT Tech graduates.

Educational system in place at this institution is faulty.

I have decided not to continue attending ITT Tech as the educational system in place at this institution is faulty. Fees per credit are astoundingly high in comparison to other institutions and the requirement of four credits per course, in comparison to three credits per course at other institutions have also influenced my decision. I have always struggled with the system in place where students attend class once a week for four hours rather than twice weekly for two hours. It is very difficult to learn, process, and retain material in this period of time. I have had professors dismiss class early as they, too, have felt overwhelmed and exhausted to be in class for four hours. I have also experienced a vast lack of learning as professors do not truly teach, apply structure, or discipline due to the outrageous lack of respect and defiance many students demonstrate toward professors. I have been baffled to receive study guides for exams which have turned out to be the exam itself! Of course, everyone will receive a perfect score as all that was required was to memorize the answers to the study guide and answer the exact same questions, in the same order as they appear in study guide, on the exams. My time and effort at ITT Tech have been a tremendous waste of time and money as I can honestly say that I have not aquired any new knowledge and professors basically give all students high marks without teaching and challenging individuals at all. Additionally, this past quarter, we underwent the outrageous and unprofessional experience of having numerous professors "teaching" one course as the former professors left the institution in search of higher salaries elsewhere. As these professors resigned, ITT Tech assigned professors who lacked course material knowledge and, as a result, failed to adequately teach. The abovementioned issues are some of the reasons I now feel overwhelmed and anxious as I am now in financial debt and I feel like I did my first day of class. I have not learned any new material as I was not presented with any learning material which was challenging or state-of-the-art. I have no newly-acquired learning or educational assets to add to my resume nor do I feel that my short time at ITT Tech contributed any valuable or useful knowledge which would aid me in broadening my horizons in my field in the working world.

you are dumb too, dont you know that you get what you pay for when it comes to eductation, thats why it is a little more expensive Dhick Skin, and then why would students want to come to two or three courses on more than one day per week which makes students commute four to six days per week which many students can not afford. Your a dummy you really should consider going somewhere else, because you are a epic fail at getting students to understand the value of a college education and how to apply themselves....Ur such a failure

Hey retard. Students DO apply themselves at this loony bin.

The problem is the instructors teach everything except the necessary skills your will need in the real world. At least in NSA. I have talked to about 30 other students who are about to graduate in September along with myself and we all have the same concern. We won't even be able to answer half the questions an employer will have for us because we were never taught ANYTHING regarding troubleshooting and the only "hands on" training we got was in VMWARE virtual environments because the school is too cheap to set it up in the classroom like any other DECENT technical college does EVERY DAY!

The students aren't the epic failures. The psychotic, hateful, greedy and idiotic faulty and used car-like recruiters are!

Itt tech of san diego is a rip off!!!!!!!

I know I am not the perfect student but I work hard in school. I accept when I fail a class when its my fault but when it is the instructors fault no way. I have been trying to change the grade for one of my classes and when they are about to change it they always come up with *** excuses for the grade not to change. It is not my fault that my program changes chairs like a person changes underwear and that they cant keep track of the conversations they have with students and losing a students paper and saying you never got it. This school has been trying to take more money from me just because not enough students are signing up for the programs. All I want is justice and for them to change the grade for that class. they wont even take witnesses to testify that I actually did my work and participated. WTF? THIS SCHOOL SUCKS DONT COME HERE IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME I WOULD HAVE NEVER NEVER APPLIED HERE.

You failed class at ITT? You need to get 95% score out of any class at ITT to be taken seriously.

Take a good look at yourself and work much harder. Good luck with that attitude.

Fla is spinning for the boys from Carmel. Open admissions and high academic standards do not mix.

ITT is not regionally accredited. I see ITT on a resume and it goes in the shredder ASAP.

ITT-TECH RIP OFF

I was a student in the Computer Networking Class...Graduated with a solid GPA....What pissed me off so much is that after graduation there was very little job placement and let us not forget the huge amount of student loans I had to take out. 40,000.00 in the hole and huge student loan payments.... I have been out of school 4 years now and last time I spoke to our career services department they took my email address and never replied... The real I.T. world laughs at my degree...I cant get a decent job higher than phone tech support and I am very disappointed that I let ITT-TECH play on my desire for a better life.... If your considering going to the Austin TX campus..RUN AWAY....FLEE......AVOID THE LIES......AVOID THE CRUSHING DEBT.......

@hahahah-Your rebuttal is probably one of the best arguments against going to ITT Tech.

Guest

and whats even dumber u *** ***, nobody even contacts you unless you provide your information to be contacted so obviously u were interested...Its a privelage to attend school not a necessity u ignoranuses....

Guest

you know all of you are bitter *** people who expects the world to be given to you. How hard have you really tried?

there are a ton of people from itt tech who are working in their career fields because they actually applied themselves. You all are nothing more than bums on the street looking for someone to hand them the world. You have to earn anything in life.

A degree qualifies you for jobs but wont get u one alone, you have to give effort to *** skins.... You knew about all the perks and kinks before you signed up, u just thought that you would get placed somewhere when it clearly states that the career services center does NOT place anyone, they assist you with providing information and actually helping you build ur resume *** Grow up...

Guest

Everytime I see those ITT ads on TV I get sick to my stomach. I know a lot of great grads from ITT but NONE of them work in their fields.

ITT does not prepare students for jobs and this is sad for the employers who really need well trained workers. Jobs going unfilled. Money lost.

ITT grads left without the needed basic skills. It is criminal.

Guest

As you have found out the hard way, ITT Tech degrees are worthless. IT employers won't take ITT Tech graduates. ITT Tech considers working at McDonalds as "relevant IT employment" since operating the cash register is operating a computer and thus computer programming.

You are also a victim of "process the suckers", "Get them student loan dollars", etc. with admission representatives aka salesman "ringing the bell" in the back when they "closed the sale".

You should go to YouTube and look at the video "ICUP Tech"

Emily Campbell of ITT Tech lies

I sent a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. My complaint was about ITT Tech and career services and trying to finish my degree program nights only. Emily Campbell of ITT Troy lied in stating, "ITT does not offer night classes only for any degree of study." I was attending night classes at ITT for my degree and would have graduated by taking night only classes. I had to leave ITT due to a job loss, but not I can come back but ITT will not let me finish my degree. I wish I never went to ITT Technical Institute.

ITT-TECH of HighPoint N.C.

They suck people in with easy test to enroll,then once you are in,they expect you to understand assignments without explaining the details to you.They change your schedules,and expect you to be there even if you have a job.They want money,so they fail students and students have to take extra classes. students can not use their credits at other schools,if they decide to change to a better school. ITT-TECH is a rip off!!They say they help thier students with a career,but they will not help a student make it in classes.I doubt they really help students,they are there to help themselves.

I went to this school and so did others. Im no longer at this school.

its sad how they treat people. 1st it cost to much for a ADN. i felt like since i got in it didnt matter because once i became a nurse i would easliy make the money back to repay. well that did not work.

they will not allow teachers to show any students any grades. meaning in ur nrsing class you make an 60 which you will. because they dnt teach you you have to teach urself. they will not show you what you miss.

meaning you will prob miss it again bc you dont know what you did wrong or right, they failed at least 15 students 1st 2nd and 3rd quater classes because they were able to get more money. if you fail a class meaning you can only get A and B's in all classes it will put you behind a quater. 3months. they dept chair teaches at others school.

Alamance comm college. she doesnt know what she is doing. she just grad with her phd herself. my class had CNA Phlebotomist lpns were even failing test when they should know basic nursing.

this school makes me feel real bad. it was the biggest mistake in my life. we started out with 30student the 1st quater now has 5 students left. meaning some failed some and most quit.

the fact that you have to have class on the teachers schedule is crazy. YOU CAN NOT PICK YOUR CLASS TIMES> if a teacher teaches at GTCC at 5pm. and is only avaible at 7pm thats when your class will start. So alot of people in my quater were grown women with kids.

its hard to go on someone elses sched.even if it is a nursing program. IF UR THINKING ABOUT GOING HERE because you can get in just by taking an online test kinda like the teas and past. Dont do it. The people in these classes looked like they never attended school or if they did they werent able to get into another program someone else.

to me thats not good enough. if i would have known this i and several others would have stayed at the university and been on an waiting list.

all the money is loans. some people got FA.

As a fellow ITT student, I TOTALLY AGREE! I have only one more term left for my associate degree at a whopping $44k and they can care less about the students once they are enrolled and STUCK!

ITT Technical Institute is a SCAM & Ripoff!!!

If anyone out there is considering going to ITT Technical Institute, DON'T go!!! This school is a for-profit nightmare, they will suck you in, hook line and sinker and then stick you with a bunch of student loans you can't possibly pay off, then expecy you to take some menial, mediocre job that doesn't even require a high school education. Very insulting! I started out going here because I liked the smaller class sizes and majored in criminal justice, hoping to become a victim's advocate or work in any semi-professional capcity within the criminal justice system...I did the work, graduated with honors, always was on time to my classes...and what did I get instead? Thousands in student loans, daily harassment by student loan companies, and no prospects for work. The school actually insults me by expecting me to take jobs like Loss Prevention or Janitor, as if these are reputable jobs!!!?? It's beyond insulting. And the career services director had the nerve to tell me that many graduates choose to not go into their field...Excuse me, but what is ITT paying you for sir? Aren't you supposed to give a (pardon the pun) rat's behind about graduates who showed up and did the work, instead of constantly forwarding us dead end jobs. This school is a total SCAM. I will be forwarding my complaints to whomever will listen.

ITT-Tech is not an education center for learning, they are a business intended to take advantage of desperate people or people who don't know any better. 3 of my classes had severely under qualified instructors who had no idea what they were doing, the ENTIRE class failed and they simply passed everybody, so you just payed $2000+ just for a passing grade without learning anything, that is flat out fraud, so I am filing a class action lawsuit against ITT-Tech so remove all obligations to pay student loans back (you cannot complete the degree, I dropped out, if you completed the degree you have no grounds) if you want to join me in this class action lawsuit then go to SueEasy.com case number 656 to join, the more people we have the better our chances are of winning, do not let these crooks get away with it! take action now!

ITT Tech in Liverpool, NY is a COMPLETE waste of time and money. The Director, Jennifer Hill, is very successful at driving the school, employees, and students to the GROUND!!

Money mill with no ethics!!! :(

Guest

DO NOT even consider ITT, the credits will NOT transfer to any other school and the diploma from ITT is laughed at by every employer. Do NOT believe the commercials, those people are paid to say what they do. The school is for PROFIT and they care about no one but themselves and the profits!!!!!

Guest

You can try posting your experiences on ripoffreport dot com, yelp dot com, etc.

You are a victim of "get them student loan dollars" with the ITT Tech admissions representative "ringing the bell" once the "sale was closed".

Even worse is that an ITT Tech diploma is considered worthless by most law enforcement agencies as it lacks regional accreditation. You will find that the credits don't transfer to a 4 year college.

ITT-Tech is now using Hospitals to help them collect

I received a call this morning from ECMC (Erie County Medical Center, located in Western New York) that started with Hi I am calling about your ITT Balance. I was Shocked and Pissed! Apparently Itt-Tech is now using your local hospitals Mental Health Staff to see why your not paying your inflated school loan. Some history I attended 1 semester and 1 hour of my 2nd semesters 1st day then left with a medical discharge. Not only have I sent letters to them from my doctor (whom by the why is Not affiliated with ECMC but with the VA Hospital in my area) which went ignored. Now I have to revisit this stress and have the VA's legal arm see if they can help. I went to ITT to hone my programming skills as I am already a programmer. I ran after I ended up practically teaching intro to PC's 101, English or communications was nothing more than how to work in a group and how to use Office 2007. Then speaking to a programming student that was graduating in weeks. I learned more than him from YouTube, other sites and books from Barnes and Noble. They use antiquated Heathkit educational lesson plans on P3 Win XP machines. ITT-Tech really is a useless degree mill. Don't believe me call a couple of local HR Reps and see what they think of a degree from ITT. (BEWARE TO BE SHOCKED)!!! Go to a local college and get a real degree. Don't listen to the ITT commercials they should be up for an Emmy in the BS fiction category. Thanks for reading my ranting and a warning to fellow Veterans just coming home. Treat ITT as hostile territory with no way out once you crossed their border.......

ECMC is a MN-based corporation that services student loans (like how a bank services mortgages). It is most definitely not a hospital.

Secondly, you signed a government-back note to borrow money to attend ITT (the money was not borrowed from ITT itself).

The fact that you were not happy with your ITT education does not excuse you from paying your debt. You knew what the cost was ahead of time and agreed to pay it.

Ripped Off by ITT Technical Institute

I am a former student of ITT Tech, and I'm in the process of forming a case against ITT Tech for fraud based on deceptive business practices, false advertising and predatory lending practices. Anyone who wishes to participate in this effort is free to contact me on my new blog site, www.idiotnotes.com. My goal is to gather evidence from former staff and students from all over the country and present this evidence to the appropriate agencies who can put a stop to what they are still being allowed to do. Even better than that, I hope to be able to put a strong enough class-action case together on all of our behalves to convince the courts to force ITT to reimburse us for the costs we've all incurred because of their deception. If we can all get together and fight this, maybe we can at least cause some kind of student loan reform where this illegal activity is no longer allowed to continue and it can no longer rack up victims. And yes, we are victims...we were charged for goods and services that the company did not even attempt to deliver or provide and we deserve to be compensated, or at the very least we deserve a refund of all charges incurred because of this fraud.

Has this actually made any progress or still in limbo unlikely to ever progress?

Only if you agree to these terms in their entirety read on otherwise please disregard this comment. Reading beyond this point is an assumed agreement to the above terms***

If the current efforts have failed due to a lack of resources such as access to legal council of Attorney's knowledgeable in this subject area and a personal educational knowledge of law, FASFA, how funding processes work, and having clear examples that a Judge won't pass a motion for dismissal on out the gate then I maybe of some assistance if you care to read a theoretical thought on how to approach this with an example or 2 that may help and educate some individuals on things that would be needed to have a chance at success.

Lets say the example is from the Chicago area and if you have detailed information do not continue to post it publicly as this is a basic example that may or may not be factual, but is not meant to represent any true statements. And you would not want to disclose information to the defense publically.

Rather this is all a theoretical example and just an opinion on how to approach it not to be mistaken as legal advice or counsel as I am not an attorney and advise if you are taking this seriously to speak with your attorney or hire one 1st as if this were to go class action I wouldn't want to reveal everything to the defense on a public site allowing a corporation to prepare a defense, destroy/distort/lose, evidence, or contact past employee's that could be subpoenaed to testify in a court of law, but get tricked into some past bonus payment under the terms they sign a document that ends up being a nondisclosure agreement.

This fictional post may or may not mean that we have some/all of the above already, if I were the type to very skeptical and learned early in life about keeping any contracts/documents that are considered important, but to make it a class action others would need the info as well. If there are several similar cases already gathered along with information of the specific programs that you were enrolled in aligning with programs of other students and these cases that would be used as evidence belonging to students that have exceptional character, prior GPA's, and successful track records in their career prior to attendance then there is a potential for Civil Cases possibly starting with a specific state if the resources are scattered until further publicity and evidence is obtained from publicity and other students coming forward who had not considered litigation to the point of researching it this could be feasible. Read on or contact me with an organized detail of the obtained information thus far as I may have the aptitude to determine further if this is worth presenting to friends in the legal profession and able to take it to the next level and put the case in the right department of a more than capable firm and with myself and another witness that would fit the bill initially for the state of IL specifically in the AS Computer Networking program as we both were in different years of the program and connected years later to both find out the same issues were encountered, the school itself doesn't even exist now, we also came from the same small hometown and the recruiter's name I still remember who was also related to friends in our town and lived there as well. I have detailed accounts and motives why the program/school failed to educate classes to the point that our final class for graduation students were unable to erase floppy disks and allowed to run to the store and purchase new ones for a file transfer and somehow passed with a degree!

The motivations for the school were to move at a pace that wouldn't drop the majority of students as they were given full financial aid due to income and demographic factors which had the teacher been allowed to fail students and maintain a standard requirement for the students to pass the majority of guaranteed funding from the government money would have been taken away as the students would have lost the grants and the school would have had to gamble on the profits of paying or students getting loans to not continue dropping ITT entirely like 30% did by the end of 3 semesters knowing they wasted their money whereas someone like myself already in IT out of HS which I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and no issues with University acceptance and ended at ITT last minute and was definitely sold on a bunch of lies that I went with the career and classes at night while running a startup and felt after 10k already spent knowing the credits were *** after checking about transfers that I was better off just getting a piece of paper i.e. degree and being done with it since the staff let me come in for midterms and pre-take the final to catch their errors as it was a fairly new program. Fortunately my parents took my degree out of the garbage when I got it, but otherwise that's what I felt it was worth asides from 1 class, plus I tested out of the GE classes. Furthermore they had to pass the class a year ahead of ours before CNS would become an AS degree instead of a certificate program motivating them to push group 1 through along with not letting classes fail students that were being paid for and had to maintain grades to keep the full grants ultimately punishing the few who were there to learn and unfortunate enough to have to pay for the program themselves.

It also helps our school doesn't even exists anymore, yet I was told we could go back and take any courses again if we ever needed updated training, which resurfaced my curiosity into this after not even being able to get transcripts to see if any credits would count towards starting over to obtain a MBA or Law degree when I noticed it was an absurd amount for the BS degree nearly 80k now I believe. The largest obstacle and opportunity would be if collectively we can come up with the original papers signed and information given when first "applying" and/or getting the names of your recruiters and classmates if you know for certain an above scenario applied in your situation as well with the funding and/or a majority percentage of your classmates could all testify to the same lack of education as I am willing to wager this would fall specific to certain programs, schools, and time ranges rather than universally as the programs developed, new legislation, and disclosures have hit their current system as a for profit school.

This was all over the place intentionally from rearrangement and not wanting to go back and organize a fictional example that may not amount to anything.

Is there a developing class action lawsuit pending against ITT Tech. I went to the school located in Matteson, Illinois.

They made a lot of promises that were not kept. The also claim to help students obtain employment.

The only thing I received from them were owed student loans. Leave me a reply at eharl001@***.com for information if there is a developing lawsuit.

This looks like an old post, and I have recently been looking to form a case again ITT, hence the reason I stumbled across this site.

Itt-Technical Institute was by far the worst educational experience I have ever had, the (sales man) treats you as if you have walked in to the car lot promising you everything in the world, but providing very little. I started off with a loan for 2 years worth of school at an astonishing $40,000 + but I figured the more you spend on your education the better the education right??…Wrong!

Not only was the education very lacking you paid a very large lump some for it as well. I believe that it really doesn’t matter how you preformed in class as long as they were receiving money you were going to pass.

I am now almost $70,000 dollars in debt with Itt-tech and harassed constantly by them and Sallie Mae, this is quiet the debt for someone who makes $40,000 a year. As with everyone else on here I was promised a job and ended up getting job offers from Itt-Technical institutes career services that I was not qualified for nor where they even in the same field.

Avoid ITT Technical Institute

I wish I would have listened to my brother when he told me not to attend ITT Tech. He graduated in 2004 and had a very hard time getting a job. He eventually found a great job through a friend. He has friends in high positions and they let him know that they really don't like hiring people from ITT because they give degrees to everyone. In fact, they even made the news in my city when a student submitted a recipe and received an "A" with a "Good Job" comment. My problems with ITT Tech occurred quickly. I first enrolled in August of 2009, but due to a family emergency I had to drop...way before classes started. I re enrolled in December and noticed right away that you will be given an "A" no matter what kind of work you turn in. After three months of utter *** I decided to dropout and attend another school. Right before I did I found out that they never turned in my financial aid papers on top of that they kept my Pell Grant from August. They never sent it back like they were suppose to do. I contacted the Dept of Education and they said what ITT Tech did was illegal. That's not the worse of it, when I called to drop out the woman was extremely angry and unprofessional. I made sure that I was officially dropped out and signed at a different school and thank heavens I did because two weeks later after I was officially dropped from the school. I found out that they tried to take a loan out under my name. If I hadn't signed up at a different school when I did..they would have gotten away with it. Also if you're thinking about enrolling at ITT Tech do a little searching on the web because many of their campuses have been raided!

I was in Breckinridge school of nursing in Omaha, Nebraska and the teacher gave an A to a girl who brought in an anatomy coloring book. The anatomy teacher knows she can get away with whatever she wants, and so she blatantly favors students, makes fun of students in her class, etc.

Someone with such arrogance (she was unable to answer simple AP questions) and lack of ethics should not even be teaching at all. Oh, did i mention she monitored how long I was in the bathroom!!

Yet, another student can be twenty minutes late from break since they went to get gourmet coffee. I'd suggest she teach Jr.High (since that is what this place really is) but I shudder to think how many kids would be scarred

anyone who says ITT Tech is a great school see when they graduated or when their friend did theeir basign this statement on. I graduated in 2000 and the program was great. It is pretty poorly run now since some other entity took over shortly after I graduated.

By the way you spell based on as basign goes to show what kind of education you got there. And you say your a college graduate?

For every body saying Itt tech is such a great school needs to stop with the ***.You bastards are so naive to this school it's funny.What i really think of this school is this is a *** waste of time.Before i enrolled at itt tech i was doing just fine.My job was not the best but i it was ok until itt tech with it's lies trying to get me to enroll and make me believe i can get a better job they even said they will help me.When i got it in it was ok at first then later down the line been dealing with bad teachers that demand your time and didn't care if you had a life outside of school.All they wanted was for you to be on time and if you show up at least a hour late they will not teach you anything i was working overnight and school start at 8 same time i get off.This was over kill and the teachers will not try to talk to me or help me all they worry about was showing up on time and thanks to this and worry about making it on time to please them i lost my job in the end finish the program and still don't have a job.People school or no school if you think about going to itt tech please don't go it's only a waste of time.

Guest

I've been going to ITT Tech for a year. I've seen some of the financial bs everyone is talking about.

But when I fought it most was taken care of. I had a couple of *** instructors but I just switched to a different instructor each time. I have had some incredibly great instructors there. Anywhere you go you take the good with the bad.

I personally know I have to earn every "A" I get there. Nothing is handed to me. If you get screwed on your financial aid and don't realize it or figure out how to fix it on your own, or think someone is just suppose to hand you a job without working for it,.... Then higher education is probably too much for you anyway.

And no it's not regionally accredited but it is nationally accredited. And yes they have quotas to meet, but tell me who doesn't?

For every complaint I've heard on here,... I have talked to twice as many people who were happy with what they recieved at ITT Tech.

Guest

Hey, Caidyron;

Please give us all a break. We can see by the fact that EVERYONE complaints about ITT, the workers as well as the students, that this is not a really great institution. Do you perhaps work in marketing, and have to bring people in so you can keep your job? That is my thought. I was a student in Harrisburg, and it is single-handedly the worst run organization in the world. Maybe not all of the ITTs get rid of the good people and keep the *** but this one sure does. For $48,000, folks, you surely can do much better than ITT.

My advise is to run like ***.

I attended ITT Technical Institute in Pittsburgh, PA at the Green Tree location. This location was ranked second best and I believe it still is.

Student attended from another near by ITT Technical Institute and had bad things to say about this other location. Though, the one in Gree Tree is so ahead of the game. They have the most brilliant instructors who know first hand what they're teaching and every student receives the one on one help they need when they need it. I attended the IT/Computer Network Systems Associates In Specialized Technology Degree.

I graduated March, 2004 and got into Contracting which isn't bad in moderation. You can get around for a few years and see different settings and environments and learn more than you would ever think to. I work for one of the largest Insurance Firms in the world. I just started a few months ago moving here from an IT Solutions company where I was a Network Administrator at one location and maybe the next day they needed me to be a Router Security Consultant and maybe do some web development work for the PTC or Catalyst Connection.

All of which I learned during my time at ITT. I feel for those who attended other less fortunate locations. There are those though, like the location in Green Tree PA that have one equal in the state and that's CMU the world infamous harbinger of phenominal minds. For those who attended a bad location, please when you're in Pittsburgh PA go visit ITT Technical Institute in Green Tree.

It's 3 minutes from Downtown and you'll have a change of mind as per ITT. There are jobs out there and it may seem like there are not. You have to actually look and I'm not saying that people don't.

But, getting into an IT Staffing firm for a while will expose you to the big players out there and give you ideas on what you actually want to do and where to apply personally. ;)

ITT Tech

To all those that have been in the ITT world, many believe it to be a scam. I have read a lot about it recently. I'm asking that all those that have had a bad experience with not being able to use those degrees or have a problem with loans to call your states Attorney General, the Better Business Bureau and any educational dept that funds such schools and file a legal complaint. This may lead to a class action law suit in the state that ITT's headquarters are based in branching out to all others. Providing the original student loan papers and documents that are bases of fraud (such as loan repayment demands from loan companies not applied for and extremely high interest loan documents...each state has a limit on the amount of interest allowed).

ITT, NIT, Everest,Devry, Blair, ect. are all Corinthian Schools or CSi as they abbrev.

and they won't even transfer their own credits to each other. I attended one of the listed and tried to transfer credits to another(before finding the relationship between them) and they said they wouldn't transfer. I communicated my lack of attendance with them through an email and have had no response to date. Go to your search engine and type it in (CSi or Corinthian schools) you get the list.

Also NIT no longer exist because they changes the name to Everest. Opinion....they made more promises than they could deliver and changed it to keep from honoring the student promises that they often changed during the course.

Im withdrawing from ITTs on line program know there credits are not transferable to anywhereis it true there degree or diploma is just a certifacateEric Nelsonquieteric95@***.com

ITT is a total ripoff! I went there and currently work in IT but I could've gotten certifications and a degree at a CC for the job I have now.

I learned a lot at ITT but have about 100K in student loans now, that's $1200 per month. Not worth it!

Most people don't even get good jobs right away, our school printed craigslist ads as "career services". Trust me, don't go to ITT.

PLEASE any students out there who believe that fraud has been committed against them by ITT call or email:

PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTENDING ITT TECH

to anyone thinking of attending, please listen to me. i worked at a campus in southeastern Pennsylvannia for a period of only a few months..thats all i needed..It is a sales job, the directors tell you that, the schools dean tells you that, thats all our job was..We get leads from only god knows where from, and are told to call them 3 times a day for 3 days in a row..if we get ahold of a potential student, there is an entire corporate script we are told to follow with all the right questions to ask people in order to bring them in for an appointment..and trust me, we have to report to our director how many "appointments" we scheduled.. once you are in, dont think your just coming in for a tour or whatever they told you on the phone.. they will ask you to check a box on the new presentation to apply, then youll test, and meet with financial aid..the reps get points for each one of these processes you go through and at the end of the week the points are tallied and that determines who gets the best "leads" for the next week..LIKE I SAID, it is all sales..NEXT..the tuition is roughly 48,000 dollars..i personally went to a four year, Division 1 school for less than that..ITT will only offer you an associates degree for that 48,000..you can get your bachelors, which wil cost you almost as much..all told you will be on the hook for almost the price it would of cost you to go to a private college such as University of Penn...Another thing to be VERY WEARY OF..the credits earned at ITT Tech WILL NOT TRANSFER...WILL NOT TRANSFER TO ANY OTHER COLLEGE other than pierce college, which ITT Tech owns..Yes, they are accredited by the ACICS..do yourself a favor and look at the acics website and tell me how many of the schools they accredit you have ACTUALLY heard of..I was gimmicked into the idea my position was going to be as an admissions counselor, i wanted to help people..please, PLEASE reconsider when you think of attending this school..If you dont beleive me, ask to tour the school and see the room where your "Admissions rep" works..look around to see if there is anything resembiling a contest or such on the walls or on their desks..those contests are being held to see how many of YOU they can get into..read some of the papers hanging on tere desks and cubicles, they are all scripts on how to get people in..beleive me

Students sue Sanford Brown College in Missouri for Fraud

A lawsuit has been filed against Sanford Brown College, alleging that the institution fraudulently misrepresented its educational offerings.

The five-plaintiff lawsuit is the second one filed in St. Louis County, but additional multiparty suits against the college and its Parent Company, CAREER EDUCATION CORP., have been filed elsewhere in the state, particularly Clay County.

While the suits list different plaintiffs, their allegations are essentially the same: that the college engaged in aggressive recruiting tactics and did not provide accurate information about the cost of the institution, the ability to transfer credits and starting salaries of their graduates.

The petition alleges these promises were false and the institution did not reveal the correct information it had.

Plaintiff attorney Gene Graham, of White, Allinder, Graham, Buckley & Carr said,

"The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics gives the median salary of the industry, The colleges collect data on the starting salary of its graduates, but that's not the figures they give out to prospective students."

Graham said the pressure put on admissions representatives to recruit students further encourages improper practices.

Graham said the pressure put on admissions representatives to recruit students further encourages improper practices.

The petition alleges that the admissions reps were given sales quotas with respect to new student enrollment and were subject to pressure, criticism, and job termination if their quotas weren't met.

"The admissions representatives' quotas were based upon figures determined by financial forecasts and budget calculations which had [no] relationship to the education of the students, but were purely profit driven," the petition said.

Graham said that Career Education Corp. also began hiring secret shoppers to see how well the admissions reps are doing their jobs in recruiting students.

"The admissions reps act like car salesmen, telling these prospective students whatever they want to hear so they'll go to Sanford Brown," Graham said.

"A two-year associate's degree at ITT Tech (which requires 96 credit hours, 12 credits per quarter, 3 classes every quarter, and 4 credits per class) costs approximately $47,328 and that cost comes out to $493.00 per credit hour.

Out of concern that students at ITT Tech and other for-profit vocational schools are taking on unsustainable levels of debt, the Department of Education is considering new regulations that would restrict students at for-profit vocational schools from taking out more debt than their future employment prospects would justify."

ITT Educational Services Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Complaint Filed Over ITT Recruiting & Financial Aid Lending

NOVEMBER 4, 2010

A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against education service provider ITT Educational Services, Inc. (“ITT Educational Services” or “ITT” or “Defendant”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class consisting of purchasers of ITT Educational Services’s common stock (symbol: ESI) between October 23, 2008 and August 13, 2010 (the “Class Period”), alleging that ITT Educational Services and certain ITT officers and executives violated federal securities fraud laws, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by allegedly issuing false and misleading financial statements relating to ITT’s alleged failure to disclose improper recruiting and financial aid lending practices, according to ITT securities fraud class action lawsuit news reports.

Guest

:( i know exactly what you mean i currently attend ITT Tech in Spokane Wa. One week after i signed up for classes my admissions Rep quit,and at this point i'm signed into a contract.

So it wouldn't do me any good to switch schools. I wish i would have done my research

Guest

Hi,

I just went for the initial appoinment and you are absolutly right. Then the financial aid lady tries to trick you when it comes to grants and student loans, is funny how you get 2 loans...

1 with 4 1/2 intrest rate and the other one you wont know until you graduate. I did the numbers in her office and came to find out I was going to have a student loan of 45,000 dollars because they were going to give me a 3,000 dollar schoolarship.

That's excluding intrest so with intrest I was looking at least 60,000 in student loans. what a joke!!!

Guest

I am still a recruited and guess what.........I do help people. I too attended a great 4 year University, paid less and go absolutely no assistance when looking for a job! Of course you didn't last long because the "scripts" are a guide to help you get to know the interested individual. The leads that are generated from requests by people looking to do something with their lives. Sometimes they are filled out mistakenly, but to allude to the fact that they are not legitamate is unfair. As a representative, you are the first contact and have to build a relationship to get the interested party feel comfortable talking about their goals.

If you go into this field thinking your in sales, you will treat it as such. I have never felt that I was selling anything. I guide. Your approach to this position was fake because you did not embrace honesty.

Now regarding the tranfer of credits, you are complete wrong!!!! It is required to inform every student that credits are unlikely to transfer, however, my campus works with several for profit and 4 year institute that take all of our credits. If you actually did your job effectively you would know this!

Yes, the tuition is high, but the program is 24 credits less than a 4 year degree from a tradtion University, and includes all books and equipment. Do your math!

And regarding contests......it is a way to get the representative excited about helping people. What company does not try and motivate the employees to excel in their jobs. That statement is just ridiculous and shortsited.

Just because you did not work effectively to help people does not mean that there are not others working hard to help people. Good luck to you in your career, but I am not so sure that you are not doing the same thing.....working for another for profit college.

Guest

I am finding most of these private career colleges are a scam. They are looking for anyone with a pulse and can sign their name.

These career colleges do not offer the correct accredited progam certificates ackowleged in the career industries.

They are just getting you to trust them and follow your dreams jargon. Do not believe them (ITT, PHOENIX,SANFORD BROWN, EVEREST, SCC,& KEISER to name a few) they are being sued by many community colleges,investigated by the feds and will mislead anyone to get the money from financial aide.

ITT Tech nothing but a useless Degree mill

I attended ITT-Tech in NY for one quarter then left. Why you may ask,because I spoke with several companies HR personnel at a local technology job fair. What I was told made me sick to my stomach. ITT Tech Degrees are considered to be what amounts to scrap paper. Some of the reps asked what real degrees did I have. 3 told me that applicants that held ITT Tech Degrees were not even considered for a position with their company. Most told me that an ITT graduate may be considered depending on previous work experience. Prior to going to ITT Tech and learning outdated or inadequate material. So I figured this was because other applicants went to real State and Local colleges. So I started my real homework and began research into these accusations. What was told to me was on the money "My Loan Money" to be truthful! After e-mailing HR dept's asking if an ITT Tech graduate had a chance of working for them. The reply's were down right rude if I received a reply at all. From the companies that did reply the communication was less than promising. If I wanted a basic in the door position or with their sales dept. The chances were there. However only to fill a chair that graduates from real colleges passed by. Unless prior job experience insulated your ITT Tech Degree. They (the HR people) were more interested in what positions you had held in the past. That is if you wanted a position that paid more than 20K a year. In my case I had 20+ years in work experience in the field I was seeking a position in. I am being non specific for a good reason. ITT Tech has excellent law firms on retainer. Honestly this bothers me as I do not need a lawsuit for slander or misrepresentation. So I wanted to warn those who watch these so called life changing commercials ITT Tech spends your degree money on. I don't expect you to believe me. Do your own homework, contact the HR dept's of the companies you dream of working for. Before you get suckered into the ITT Tech Degree mill. Then listen to what they have to say "Go to a real college". Then get a Degree that is worth more than the paper it is printed on. Preparing you for the future, should say Preparing you to pay us for a very long time!! Yes most good educations you do pay for a long time. However you have a position with a reputable company and can afford to pay your school loans and run a family. As a school loan is not covered by any bankruptcy protection. You will be flipping burgers or filling gas until you retire. Or until you go to another college and get a Degree that will get you a position that will pay off both loans. That is if you can get another loan. Remember this all goes down on your credit record and Loan Officers don't want to hear your story. They hear them all the time. To the students that graduated from ITT Tech and disagree with me. Congratulations, you won the employment lottery. To those watching those well rehearsed commercials. Do your real homework as I stated above. Karma goes around and ITT Tech will get theirs and it will not be pretty. Watch for future posts, as I will start either a Yahoo group of disgruntled students or a website with the possible intent on a class action suit. Remember David did take down Goliath, ITT Tech needs to reimburse those they *** or just shut down and go away, period.

Decided to post some about my experience with ITT. First off ITT is a technical institute not a university so your culture at the school is going to be different. I had professors who work in the field and are really good at there jobs. When they teach, they focus on the core material. This happens when you do get a good professor, however when you find a Itt tech that is trying to compete with a university, you may find yourself getting into an Itt that teaches by the rules of the curriculum, which I was not a fan of. Make sure you do your homework when picking a school. Itt is accredited by a different agency then most universities, so this makes it harder to transfer credits to that fancy university name you want to go to later. Once again I go back to my comment about university versus institute. One disadvantage I don't like is that the schools financial aid gives more money to the lower income. Which means you have middle income that is 50/50 on going to the school to pay 80k, more lower income getting away with sitting in the class and not doing nothing because they can get a paper and barely pass or learn anything, and the higher income who can afford to pay it off for a piece of paper. :upset

So with that being said, what do you do? It all depends on what you want to do and your situation. I had the experience and knowledge of a couple certifications, but because I am just now finding out after I graduated that I have OCD, I could not pass my certifations because I did not have enough time to take them. So I would get interviews that would require me to have a bachelors degree and they would not hire me cause I didn't have the paper. I even had a job offer for 100k and I was barley done my associates. So keep in mind, if you struggle with college, try an institute that can give you a degree, but make sure you learn and gain expience so you can talk the walk because no one is going to hire you with good pay unless you really know what your doing.

I am just going to note here that I didn't have much luck with Itt career services, but I did get interviews with places. I am very picky about where and who I want to work for. The job I have now.... I applied for once with itt's help and never got a call. Then a few months later the job was posted again and Itt told me about it. Itt called the company and talked to the hr person and put in a really good word for me because I was head of my class. Then I got the interview and the rest played out the way I made it.

Another thing to keep in mind, the degree programs Itt offers is well rounded. I actually got an interview with a government contractor, one of the best in the nation because I had so much well rounded knowledge. They were impressed that I knew so much Linux, windows, Cisco, cyber security, electronics (this was a hobbie of mine), VMware, VoIP, and more. I actually was a last minute call for the position and one of the last they interviewed, and they told me I was one of the best well rounded people they interviewed. So keep in mind how that Itt degree is going to help you be more well rounded for a company.

Hope this helps some, and by the way I am typing this on the iPad and to lazy to review my grammar and spelling. Just read it like I spoke it. Lol.

Let's have some fun with "current ITT student."

"You guys know why "nobody" who goes to ITT has a job? Because only 30% of you *** graduate, and half you *** who do don't get good grades."

Fair enough. Who let these students in? ITT did. Should these students be eligible for Pell and Title IV? Those programs are, in part, funded by the hardworking taxpayers of this nation. Should they be used at a "school" like ITT with low standards?

"At my campus, we have a many working graduates, i've met them. You can't even punctuate properly, how can anyone take you seriously?"

Oh, the irony. I have some advice for "current ITT student." Do not insult someone's writing and grammar unless your own writing abilities are up to par.

Let us look at your comment. "we have a many working graduates, i've met them." Does "a many working graduates" make any sense to you? Is that proper English? It is not even close. You also fail to capitalize "i've" even though the "i" in this case should be "I." When you are using "I" as a pronoun for the first person, you need to capitalize it. Based on that sentence, I would guess you have the writing abilities of a fifth grader. You do not need to be in college. You need to be in a phonics class with a bunch of eleven year olds.

"I am starting an internship at a fairly large company in close to where i live in the spring, and after i graduate I'll be hired on there at about $65,000. Starting out. So take your *** and stuff it."

Congratulations on your job "at a fairly large company in close to where i live." Why did you add the "in" to this sentence? It is not needed. Who are you so inconsistent with your grammar. Let's see how you pivot in the following part of your diatribe.

"i live in the spring, and after i graduate I'll be hired on there at about $65,000."

Why do you repeatedly post "i" for "I" but then shift to capitalizing "I'll" late on? Do you think you need a college degree to move from an "i" to an "I" or do you think you should only capitalize the first person when you use it for "I'll" or do you simply write like a fifth grader?

"Then again, maybe things are different in other areas, but here, things are great."

I'm glad things are great in Arkansas but you just undermined your entire point. You aggressively attacked students who complain about ITT and proceeded to curse them out. After doing so, you conceded they might have a point since, as you admitted, you have a limited perspective.

You might want to add a logic course when you sign up for that phonics class. While I appreciate your attempt to defend ITT, your lack of thinking skills and serious failure to understand basic concepts of the English language only show why prospective students should not apply there. They also show to potential employers why they should avoid hiring ITT grads. When I have an application from an ITT grad (or any non-regionally accredited school), I toss it in the garbage immediately.

Guest

You guys know why "nobody" who goes to ITT has a job? Because only 30% of you *** graduate, and half you *** who do don't get good grades. At my campus, we have a many working graduates, i've met them. You can't even punctuate properly, how can anyone take you seriously? I know all you *** holes who flunk out or drop out because you are too lazy do nothing but get on the internet and complain, so *** stop.

I am starting an internship at a fairly large company in close to where i live in the spring, and after i graduate I'll be hired on there at about $65,000. Starting out. So take your *** and stuff it.

The school is a ripoff. Save yourself the trouble. Please :(

Guest

Just like everyone else, I'm jsut stuck with a big bill. ITT career services did nothing to help in finding a job.

They would not lift a finger.

In fact I was told at one point, "It is not career services job to find student jobs."

So I'm not 10 months unemployed jobless and can't finish my degree because of not money for transportation.

ITT has never responed to anything I have sent them. Good luck in collecting on any unpaid tuition.

Guest

Funny, at our ITT campus we had Intel recruiters come in and talk to us. I think most of you just suck at life.

Guest

As a retired vet I feel it is my job to warn you. I hope others follow my lead.

ITT is hoping to get your attention through their well crafted commercials. They will promise you a better life. In reality they will cram a bunch of antiquated or non usefull tech info into you. Then the charges they hit you with are staggering.

Read Their Disclaimer Then Run To A Real College. Please heed my warning I have already got trapped and escaped this POFE (Prisoner Of False Education)!

Guest

:x Wished we had found this site and others like it before my wife spent two years at ITT. She's got her associate's and wants to go to Devry for her bachelor's but only TEN credit hours would transfer!

Talk about a waste of money! The worst part is one technical art school she was considering told her they don't even take people that have degrees from ITT.

Guest

I think it all depends on which degree you obtain.

For instance, I graduated in 1996 with a degree in computer aided drafting. I found a job within 3 months of graduating with a naval architecture firm.

Fourteen years worth of experience later, my w2 form shows a 6 figure income and I am now subcontracting (which is almost the only way to make a substantial income in that field, with that degree). With that being said I believe that I would have been better off taking courses at a community college (community college credits are way more transferrable.

Ripped off for a *** of a degree at ITT Tech

I was convinced that this schoool would give me an amazing education in the Drafting and Design field. Well they start you in a couple of classes that actually pertain to your career field to get you excited, then slowly you see yourself in classes that have ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with that field. Then, because they are so money hungry, they keep signing students up when there is no room for them so you have to SHARE classrooms! What a joke! For $44K I have to struggle to hear my teacher while trying to not be distracted by an entire different class going on right next to me!? DO NOT SIGN UP YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILD UP FOR THIS HORRID SCHOOL! I could have had a more enjoyable time going to a community college and received the same if not better educational benefits for a fraction of the cost! Plus, I graduated 6 months ago, and chose not to walk for graduation (what's the point, not like I'm proud I went there), and I STILL haven't received my degree. Knowing the school they'll have a reason why they can't release it with out needing more money!

Until you pay your entire bill - for the education rendered - you are not allowed to have your transcripts or copies of your "degree".

Same at all schools.

That's not true. Your transcripts belong to you, not the school. They can put a hold on them if there is an unpaid fee, like a graduation fee or something like that, but not for not attending a graduation ceremony.

ITT Tech is 100% Ripoff!

I am a former employee at ITT. I left because I couldn't ethically continue to do what management wanted me to do which was lie just to get students in and get signatures on their loan papers. As long as the money keeps flowing in anybody is passed regardless whether they do the work required for the program. No reputable employer even accepts their phony degrees! Their credits do not transfer and they make you take out high interest private loans to cover tuition because government financial aid will not cover all of the costs. Students do not get any financial aid checks back and most often end up so deep in debt that they can never dig themselves out. A Bachelor degree will end up costing you $100,000.00 RUN, don't walk, AWAY from this ripoff school.

I have been researching this issue for months. Considering the grammar of some of these comments it's no wonder these people have a gripe.

They seem to lack the mental capacity to even attend such a program.

You don't see many positive comments because the people who succeed don't have time for such foolishness. They're at work!

If you apply yourself and have the ability you can accomplish anything. The world needs ditch diggers too!
